1,3-Benzenediol,2-(trifluoromethyl)-

Description:

1,3-Benzenediol, 2-(trifluoromethyl)-, also known as 2-(trifluoromethyl)-m-phenol, is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of a trifluoromethyl group (-CF3) and two hydroxyl groups (-OH) on a benzene ring. This compound features a symmetrical structure with the hydroxyl groups positioned at the 1 and 3 positions relative to each other, while the trifluoromethyl group is located at the 2 position. The presence of the trifluoromethyl group significantly influences the compound's chemical properties, enhancing its lipophilicity and potentially affecting its reactivity and biological activity. 1,3-Benzenediol, 2-(trifluoromethyl)- is typically a solid at room temperature and may exhibit moderate solubility in organic solvents. Its unique functional groups suggest potential applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science. However, safety and handling precautions should be observed due to the presence of fluorinated moieties, which can pose environmental and health risks.
